Everton have dismissed Rafael Benitez as manager after less than seven months in charge. The Spaniard was appointed at Goodison Park in June, replacing Carlo Ancelotti who left to join Real Madrid. However, that didn’t prove to be a good decision as the Toffees struggled massively to perform under the former Valencia manager. The Blues are currently 16th in the Premier League standings, wining only one of their previous 13 league matches. The Merseyside club reportedly held an emergency board meeting on Saturday to talk about the future of Benitez after their latest 2-1 defeat at Norwich City. And now they have released an official statement confirming the sacking of the 61-year-old boss. Appointing Benitez wasn’t a very popular decision...
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti wants Gareth Bale out of the club, according to reports. The 32-year-old returned to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer after spending the 2020-21 season at Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

Now as per a report from El Nacional, Carlo Ancelotti wants to get rid of the Wales international. It is said that the Italian boss has told the club to either sell or release the 32-year-old. The Welshman’s current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu is set to expire in 2022, having penned a lucrative long-term deal in 2016. Bale fell out of favour with previous manager Zinedine Zidane and he was...
James Rodriguez was seen as quite a coup when he first joined Everton, but the 30-year-old now has an uncertain future at Goodison Park after an eventful summer – James followed Carlo Ancelotti to Everton last season but saw his ex-Real Madrid manager return to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer. The Colombian international told ESPN in April that Ancelotti was the only reason he joined the Toffees, so things were up in the air following his departure in June. Everton even tried to sell James before the summer transfer window shut, but the player blocked a move to Istanbul Basaksehir – the Super Lig club sit second from bottom in the table without a point from their first three games this season. James may have been open to a move away from Everton if it was a step up than step down, but he...

Carlo Ancelotti left Everton on the first day of this month to return to Real Madrid, and the Toffees have yet to find a replacement. The Italian was earning £1 million per month at Goodison Park, and his decision to leave stunned Everton owner Farhadi Moshiri. Ancelotti and the club were already discussing transfer plans for the summer before he walked away, and The Sun has shared why Moshiri did not put up a fight to stop him. With three years still to run on his contract before his departure, the exit enabled the Everton owner to cut salary costs, saving £36m as a result. The Toffees lost £240m in the past two years and are lurching towards a cash crisis if they do not slash more off the wage bill. Ancelotti was well aware of the financial situation at Goodison Park, and one reason why ...
James Rodriguez has said that he could stay for another season with Everton despite the recent departure of manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti played a pivotal role in signing him for the Toffees last summer, but the Italian is no longer at the helm, having returned to Real Madrid. Rodriguez had previously worked with Ancelotti at Madrid and Bayern Munich, but he has ruled out the prospect of another reunion. The Colombia international is looking forward to next season with the Toffees, and admitted his cycle with Real Madrid is now closed. He told Habla Deportes (via MSN): “I don’t know. I think not…. If I stay another year [at Everton] that’s fine.” “I don’t think Ancelotti is going to take me. The cycle for me with Real Madrid is closed.” Sportslens view: Rodriguez had an injury-pl...
Real Madrid recently appointed Carlo Ancelotti as their head coach for a second stint after Zinedine Zidane decided to step down from the position. The club have a potential squad rebuilding job this summer but before that, they are likely to offload multiple players to recoup funds for new signings. As many as ten Los Blancos players, valued at a combined €177 million, featured for different teams on loan in the recently-concluded campaign. It is unlikely that all of them will be shown the exit door. We look at five players, who could emerge as regulars under Ancelotti next term. Martin Odegaard The Norwegian was definitely the most valuable player, who was sent out on loan last term. The 22-year-old had an impressive 2019/2020 season on loan with Real Sociedad, registering seven goals an...
Antonio Conte has major doubts about becoming Tottenham’s next head coach and is inclined to turn them down, according to Sky Italy. Spurs have been in talks with the former Chelsea boss, who left Inter Milan after winning Serie A last month. But after considering the role for several days, Conte remains unconvinced Spurs are a team ready to win trophies immediately. The Italian has won five league titles in the last decade and is looking for another ‘winning project’. He is trying to understand if it is possible to bridge the gap with the top four or five Premier League teams in a short period of time – with Spurs having finished 24 points behind champions Manchester City. It is understood Spurs would not pressure him to win trophies. If the parties fail to strike a deal, Conte could also...

However, injuries hampered his effectiveness thereafter and he ended the campaign with just six goals and seven assists from 40 games. Pedro has recently been reunited with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Roma, but he could be on the move. Ancelotti has been a long admirer of the 33-year-old, and he is exploring the prospect of luring him to the Merseyside outfit this summer. Sportslens view: Pedro is no longer ...
